Chapter 6: Vocabulary

Question 1

tooth-colored materials that can be placed directly into the cavity preparation without being constructed outside the mouth first

Answer 1

Direct-Placement Esthetic Materials

Question 2

tooth-colored material composed of organic resin matrix and inorganic filler particles

Answer 2

Composite Resin

Question 3

thick liquids made up of two or more organic molecules that form a matrix around filler particles

Answer 3

Inorganic (Silica) Filler Particles

Question 4

a chemical that helps bind the filler particles to the organic matrix

Answer 4

Silane Coupling Agent

Question 5

coloring agents that give composites their color

Answer 5

Pigments

Question 6

composite that polymerizes by a chemical reaction when two resins are mixed together

Answer 6

Self-Cured Composite

Question 7

composite that polymerizes when a chemical is activated by light in the blue wave range

Answer 7

Light-Cured Composite

Question 8

composite that contains components of light-cured and self-cured composites. When the two parts are mixed together, it polymerizes by a chemical reaction that can be accelerated by blue light activation.

Answer 8

Dual-Cured Composite

Question 9

an early generation of composite that contained filler particles ranging from 10 to 100 um

Answer 9

Macrofilled Composite

Question 10

composite that contains very small filler particles averaging 0.04 um in diameter

Answer 10

Microfilled Composite

Question 11

composite that contains both macrofill and microfill particles to obtain the strength of macrofill and the polishability of a microfill

Answer 11

Hybrid Composite

Question 12

a light-cured, low-viscosity composite resin that contains fewer filler particles

Answer 12

Flowable Composites

Question 13

a light-cured, highly viscous, heavily filled composite resin for dentist who use a placement technique with composite that is similar to that of amalgam

Answer 13

Packable Composite

Question 14

a self-cured, tooth-colored, fluoride-releasing restorative material that bonds to tooth structure without an additional bonding agent

Answer 14

Glass Ionomer Cements

Question 15

a glass ionomer to which resin has been added to improve its physical properties

Answer 15

Hybrid (Resin-Modified) Glass Ionomer

Question 16

composite resin that has polyacid, fluoride-releasing groups added

Answer 16

Compomer

Question 17

tooth-colored materials that are used to construct restorations outside of the mouth in dental laboratory or at chairside on replicas of the prepared teeth. They are later cemented to the teeth.

Answer 17

Indirect-Placement Esthetic Materials
